How to Clean and Care for Canvas Shoes

Most of us have at least one pair of canvas shoes. Whether your favorite pair happens to be Converse, Keds, Toms, or Vans, they tend to get dirty fast. Fortunately, this type of shoe is one of the easiest to keep clean. If you’ve ever wondered about the best way to get yours looking new again, here’s how to clean and care for your canvas shoes.

1. Use Care

Just because you can wash canvas shoes doesn’t mean you can throw caution to the wind in doing so. In fact, Tom’s does recommend hand washing, so put them in your washer at your own risk (though many people do it just fine). However, it’s always best not to put your canvas shoes in the dryer.
